Jumbo versus the police

小象对警察

Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital.

去年圣诞节,马戏团老板吉米·盖茨决定送些礼物给儿童医院。

Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a ‘guard of honour’ of six pretty girls,

他打扮成圣诞老人，在由6个漂亮姑娘组成的“仪仗队”的陪同下,

he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.

骑上一头名叫江伯的小象,沿着城里的主要街道出发了。

He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.

他本该知道警察绝不会允许这类事情发生。

A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic.

一个警察走过来告诉吉米，他应该走一条小路,因为江伯阻碍了交通。
